her office. One of the big clients was having some sort of issues. Who knows?
She had to go back to her office and see what was going on and, as usual, she informed me not to worry and that she would probably end up getting in late.
“Don’t wait up sweetie. I love you.” She said as she hung up the phone.
Great. That was just my luck. Eric is mad at me. Mom has to go back to work and Dad was at another conference.
Mom pulled out of the driveway. As I watched her drive off, I saw Eric walking around his yard. I felt abandoned. Left to sit here alone, wondering about everything. Questioning everything. Right down to being scared that Eric was going to call off the wedding. Even worse. What if he wouldn’t ever talk to me again?
I stopped myself at that thought. It wasn ’t like I had cheated on him. Silas is a damn vampire. Not that I even hold that against him, but it helped me a little.
I picked my phone up off the table and dialed Eric ’s number. I counted the rings one by one. Five. Six. And big surprise. Voicemail. I slammed the phone shut.
That made me angrier than I had ever been in my entire life. Mad enough that I had tears pouring out of my eyes. This was so uncalled for. I could not understand why he was acting so childish.
I got up from the table and went to my room. The whole way, stomping like a two year old having a temper tantrum.
I opened my phone and sent my mom a text telling her that I was going to lie down and that I was going to turn off my phone so I could sleep without being woke up by it. As soon as I hit send, I turned it off. If he was going to ignore me, I was going to show him what it felt like too.
I tossed the phone on the floor. It didn’t make any difference to me where it landed. It could have flown out the window for all I cared. Being angry makes me sleepy. It is strange, but that was just the way I am. Avoid confrontation by taking a nap.
I laid across my bed and kicked off my shoes. They landed on the floor making a light thud. The ache that I had in my heart was agonizing. I felt like I was being ripped up inside and I hated it. A few leftover tears escaped from my eyes as I went to sleep.
I woke several hours later with the feeling that someone else was in the room with me. If I opened my eyes, I wouldn’t be able to avoid dealing with whoever was waiting for me to wake up. I was getting the feeling that it was Eric, but I wasn’t sure. Whoever it was, was giving off a feeling that they cared for me, but everything else was wrong. I knew that it wasn’t either of my parents.
I called to Eric silently. No answer.
Eric, please answer me, I whispered in my head.
What is it Bailey? Eric finally answered with a rude tone.
Where are you?
I’m in your front yard. Why? He asked more serious this time.
There is someone in my room with me. They think I ’m sleeping and I don’t know who it is.
I‘ll be right there. Don t worry. Just lay there and do not move.
Okay was all I could bring myself to say. I was scared and even if I wanted to move, I wasn’t sure that I would be able to.
Eric busted in the door like my room was on fire. “What are you doing here?” I heard him ask whoever it was in the room with me.
“ I was just sitting here watching her sleep.” I heard a girl’s voice say. “She is quite lovely Eric.”
“ Yes, I know Maggie. She is and you scared her.”
I opened my eyes to see a small girl with her hand over her mouth staring at me. Her eyes were as big as they could possibly get without popping out of her head.
She had a bizarre aura. I had never seen that before. It changed colors with her every emotion. Every move. What was she?
She apologized for scaring me and I invited her to sit on the bed with me. I felt like I needed to be near her for some reason. She gave off a warm, homelike feeling of being
